Already in the fourteenth century the dome is finished and built the so-called Wall Mudejar. Transformations and extensions continued until 1764, built the present main facade

 

Recently, the cathedral has been closed for 18 long years in which it proceeded to its restoration. Happens that many were unaware of their Cathedral Zaragoza when the Kings in 1998 inaugurated again.
